What's your source on that? Apple's message¹ said
> Apple is reducing the price of an out-of-warranty iPhone battery replacement by $50 — from $79 to $29 — for anyone with an iPhone 6 or later whose battery needs to be replaced, available worldwide through December 2018.
The "whose battery needs to be replaced" sure implies they're still going to actually test it.
That policy has changed, they will replace your battery upon request for $29 no matter what their diagnostic tests say.
